I think it would be useful if we only used the term "flamewar" for threads that contain actual flaming. The current alternate usage of "flamewar" for "any thread that's annoyingly long to read" tends to confuse the issue and perversely promote both sorts of threads: People actively engaged in flaming may think "oh, I'm helping the project with another useful flamewar", and people making threads annoyingly long to read may think "oh, I'm being cool by being a flame warrior". -- see shy jo
